Sharing Resources
Below is an incomplete list of the presentation files by the workshop participants and links to the resource sites. Please help build the repository by contributing your presentation files (if you have not done so) or relevant files that can be shared publicly, and by providing useful links. The files (up to 32 MB) may be uploaded to our server from this page. (You may want to separate out video components, if it is possible.) Also please take a moment to participate in a quick survey for prioritizing the experiments presented at the workshop for which more complete descriptions of how-to's, theory behind them, and relevant observations will be compiled.
